  • Boulevard Subregional Planning Area MOUNTAIN EMPIRE SUBREGIONAL PLAN
    County of San Diego General Plan Update Boulevard Subregional Planning Area MOUNTAIN EMPIRE SUBREGIONAL PLAN August 2011 Amended May 15, 2013 Introduction to the Community Plan Purpose of the Community Plan Community and subregional plans, adopted as an integral parts of the County of San Diego’s General Plan, are policy plans specifically created to address the issues, characteristics, and visions of communities within the County. These distinct communities each have a distinct physical setting with a unique history, culture, character, life style, and identity. Community and subregional plans, thus provide a framework for addressing the critical issues and concerns that are unique to a community and are not reflected in the broader policies of the General Plan. As part of the General Plan, this Community Plan is consistent with all other parts of the County’s General Plan. Used in conjunction with the General Plan, a community or subregional plan (Plan) is a key tool for the public, Community Planning/Sponsor Groups, County staff, and decision makers to identify the existing conditions and development that positively contribute to its character and should be conserved, as well as the location, scale, and design of desired new land uses, and community facilities. The Plan’s policies require that development be comparable to, or transition with, existing development to ensure that new development “fits” with the community and enhances the community’s vision. Scope of the Community Plan This portion of the Mountain Empire Subregional Plan covers the Subregional planning area of Boulevard, which is illustrated in Figure 1. This planning area includes approximately 55,350 acres and contains the communities of Boulevard, Manzanita, Live Oak Springs, Tierra Del Sol, Crestwood, Jewel Valley, McCain Valley, Miller Valley, and a portion of Bankhead Springs.

  • Borrego Springs Community History: Borrego Springs, an Unincorporated Desert Community, Is Located 75 Miles East of San Diego and 70 Miles South of Palm Springs
    Borrego Springs Community History: Borrego Springs, an unincorporated desert community, is located 75 miles east of San Diego and 70 miles south of Palm Springs. The first settlers are thought to be the Cahuilla Indians. The Spanish later used the area as an overland emigration corridor. Most well-known is Captain Juan Bautista de Anza, who in the 1770s led expeditions for Spain across the desert on his way to found San Francisco. From the 1870s to about the 1920s the valley was used by mountain ranchers to winter and feed their livestock that feed on native grasses and annuals. The grape industry started in the 1940s, and later gave way to the present grapefruit and lemon growing. Lots were subdivided after World War II. Today, the main industry is tourism. The town of Borrego Springs is surrounded by 600,000 acre Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The park and town are famous worldwide for the magnificent desert wildflowers, which bloom from February through April. Approximately 3,000 people live permanently year-round in the community. During the tourist months, October through May, the population may swell up to 8,000 to 10,000 persons or more, including many who come from cold climates to winter in the desert. “Snow birds” may own a second (or third) home here, rent long term, or bring their motorhomes. Borrego Springs is primarily residential, both full-time and part-time residents. Borrego has a downtown commercial business core area along Palm Canyon Drive, with Christmas Circle Park considered the core center. The downtown includes The Mall, The Center, a Performing Arts Center, Borrego Art Institute, Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association headquarters and their Borrego Desert Nature Center, other retail shops, a pharmacy, motel, bank, and a number of restaurants near the Christmas Circle and in the two malls.
